Baby-Sitting Opportunities for You
Do you have kiddos at home that are ages pre-k through third grade? Do you need a day to go holiday shopping alone? We have a deal for you.
The Connally HS Choir is hosting its Fifth Annual Camp Christmas on Saturday, Dec. 10 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. For the low price of $25 per child, we teach the kiddos holiday songs with choreography, create a craft to take home, feed them lunch and a snack, have recess and story-time with a concert of the songs at 3:00 on the stage in the cafeteria.
If you are interested, you can find the registration flyer at connallychoir.weebly.com or you can email Kelly.howard@pfisd.net and request a flyer be emailed. Please let us know of your interest by Wednesday, 12/07/16, in order to make sure we purchase enough craft supplies and food.
The Orchestra Tour
The tour continues. Saturday morning the wonderful kids in the attached photo performed at Hendrickson High School’s holiday bazaar. If you are interested, they will be providing holiday cheer here at CHS this Wednesday evening at 7:00 in the PAC. They have an eclectic program to share this year – from Brazilian to more classical. Come hear the holiday mash-up.
More Band Accolades
Our band students have worked tirelessly to prepare a competitive marching band show, entertain at football games and prepare a holiday concert. While this was going on, several of our students also worked independently on three college-level musical selections in preparations for the TMEA All-Region Band Auditions. Students get a chance to compete for All-District and All-Region honors. Students may also be selected to advance to area auditions for a chance to make the All-State band.
The All-Region contest was held at East View High School on Saturday and consisted of various schools in the north Austin area. We had 31 students selected to All-District (up from 10 in 2015). Twenty-three of those were selected as All-Region Band Members and will perform with a guest conductor at Pflugerville High School on Jan. 28. This is the highest number of students selected in many years. Also, seven students placed high enough to qualify for advancement into area completion. The area contest will be held on Jan. 7 at Duncanville High School.
CHS Yard Sale
Our AP Statistics and AP Physics students are having a yard sale at CHS this Saturday, 12/10, to help them raise money to help pay for their AP exam fees. We have been doing a lot of preparation and I think this fundraiser will be a great success, but that success is greatly dependent on shoppers. If you care not to shop, these kids are also accepting donations to go towards paying for their AP exams. Those donations can be given to any staff in the office. See their advertisement flyer for more information.
